Decision clarity board

Compare options, tradeoffs, risks, and next steps for a hard decision.

What Aura will help with

Help users make decisions with clearer tradeoffs and less spiraling.

Try saying

Use any of these phrases to start this workflow.

“Help me compare these options and choose the next step.”
“Help me decide”
“Compare these options”

How it works

  1. 1Clarify the decision, options, constraints, and values.
  2. 2Compare upside, downside, reversibility, cost, and timing.
  3. 3Identify missing information and low-risk next steps.
  4. 4Avoid pretending to know personal values the user has not shared.

You stay in control

  • Ask for confirmation before sending messages, scheduling events, purchasing, deleting, sharing, or changing external records.
  • Show the user a short preview before taking action outside Aura.
  • Stop and ask if required context or integrations are missing.
